Well its ingenious, I'll give you that! Good to know that worked well for you, but to avoid having to blow-dry your gloves again, you should look into purchasing some all weather riding gloves. But that was a good inexpensive solution to a problem, kudos.

Leather + dryer = nasty mess in the dryer (experience here) and too dried out leather.

Creative!

I recall similar devices from college, but they were for a very different purpose.

You don't even have to get a new pair of gloves. They sell rain guards that look like water-proof mittens.

For the MSF class, you could wear ordinary gardening gloves, any kind of gloves, as long as they are gloves.. but that's some herculean effort ya went to!

Lol I wore Gardening gloves and boots from walmart, both came out to ~$20! I held off on getting my gear until I knew I could actually ride a bike in traffic. Still, quite ingenious of you!
